klmz: I don't know why this submission is treated differently. Maybe the author has been having hard times with random SMB hacks.

adelikat: Rejecting for reasons stated in topic. Also, I think we have enough SMB hacks, thanks.

CoolHandMike: Hack rules have loosened allowing this to be an acceptable game choice. The submission here states that this tas is trying to be entertaining and not going for fastest time to complete, Also states how killing many enemies as possible is part of it. For that reason changed the branch name to "playaround". The audience did not find this entertaining so rejecting for Entertainment. The rejection reason could be "Goal" as well if the branch was something like kill as many enemies as possible, which the author also fails to do. Optimization also looks shaky here. The Flag Pole Glitch was known by this time since there are earlier tases that use it (DrD2k9). There are sometimes strange waits and delays in some parts which do not look good. Also the boss is not defeated with the Fire Flower which could have saved time too. For those reasons a fastest completion branch would not even work here too. And finally this submission was made using a patch on a bad dump. Left this reason for last since potentially the submission could be resynced to work on a proper rom.
Changing Rejection reason to Entertainment.
Many thanks to DrD2k9 for syncing, making the encode and also providing insight for rejection reasons.
